St. Pete Boat Parade

This is one of those shots that would be tough to take from a boat; we captured the action at the St. Petersburg holiday boat parade this weekend with a tripod and a long exposure to get this cool motion effect. And don't be thrown by the non-PhotoBoat watermark; when we're shooting on shore, it's same photographer, different website. Aka www.PhotosbyClark.com.

PhotoBoat South

We had a great time photographing on Tampa Bay this past weekend. It was the first of what will be many Bay outings for us, as we've just moved into our winter headquarters in St. Petersburg. During our Florida stay, we'll be covering a number of events here on the west coast, but will also be photographing in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and the Keys. Look for us on the water, or get in touch soon to have us put your regatta on our calendar. It's filling up fast!

PhotoBoat's Professional Marine Photographers provide regatta and boating lifestyle photography, with specialties in commercial advertising photography, editorial photography, private yacht assignments and on-the-water event photography. Their online galleries include personal event photos, stock power and sailboat images, and marine art. They are based in Connecticut and regularly travel to Newport, Annapolis, Miami, Key West, Boston, New York, New Jersey, and other sailing hotspots.

Allen and Daniela started PhotoBoat in 2005 and have spent every day since building PhotoBoat from the ground up. Their growth has been tremendous. Their "crazy" style- harnessed into a small RIB and photographing and driving at the same time- got them noticed quickly, and their oustanding photos and professionalism have done the talking ever since.

Today the brand is known across the United States sailing community and beyond. With thousands of hours on the water photographing, they use their experience and creativity to go beyond the usual.

With as many hours logged at sea and also in front of the chalkboard, teaching sailing, their love for the sport comes out in their work, and their skills behind the "wheel" have been noticed across the country. Their "never-satisfied" attitude has made waves in the marine photography field.

Now Allen and Daniela shoot from a variety of platforms, depending on the gig and the client, but they still utilize the "dinghy" extensively to get the close-up shots that nobody else can without disturbing the race course.

Allen and Daniela both have 50 Ton Master USCG Captains licenses. When they are not on their way to or from an event or assignment in South Carolina, Maryland, Maine, or beyond, they live in Connecticut in the summer and Florida in the winter.
